Or use Gentoo, that's what I do. You can verify hashes/signatures on the Firefox source archive and audit the source code if necessary before compiling.

That was only half serious - I know that are valid use cases for people to prefer using binary distros. However I think this particular issue is a good example why IMO even binary distros need to provide a convenient option to locally build any package for security conscious users.
